The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is facing internal turbulence after senior leader Raghav Chadha was removed from his position as Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha. The party replaced him with Punjab MP Ashok Mittal, a move that has triggered political debate. Reacting strongly, Punjab AAP president Aman Arora and Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema accused Chadha of failing to raise key state issues in Parliament. They alleged that he did not highlight crucial financial matters, including ₹8,500 crore in rural development funds, ₹60,000 crore in pending GST compensation, and ₹1,600 crore flood relief aid announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The leaders further stated that Chadha’s approach was not aligned with the party’s core principles and priorities for Punjab. His removal comes as a surprise, especially since he had recently gained popularity for raising public issues such as telecom pricing, banking charges, and urban traffic concerns. The development signals growing friction within AAP and raises questions about internal strategy and leadership dynamics ahead of upcoming political challenges
